Utah Jazz: One thing each key role player needs to improve in 2019-20

In order for the Utah Jazz second unit to reach its greatest potential, there is one specific aspect of each player’s game that will need to improve in 2019-20.

Exactly one month ago, I detailed out the one precise aspect that each Utah Jazz starter needs to improve in 2019-20 in order for the team to reach its greatest heights. Although the Jazz starting five looks really solid from top to bottom, there are still enhancements that need to be made if they are to live up to their new illustrious expectations.

But, of course, no team can win with just a starting five alone. Depth is vital and the play of reserves can often turn a game one way or the other. Fortunately, at least on paper, the Jazz appear pretty deep, so ideally they’ll be able to boast both a solid starting and reserve group.

Although Utah’s roster will of course be 15 players deep along with a couple of two-way players, I’ve opted to only include here the five role players that figure to round out Utah’s 10-man rotation. In other words, for this exercise, we’ll observe Emmanuel Mudiay, Dante Exum, Joe Ingles, Jeff Green and Ed Davis.

This is obviously following the speculation that I mentioned in my previous article that Royce O’Neale will indeed get the starting gig for the Jazz at the four-spot, as I already covered him along with the rest of the starters. It is entirely possible that the Jazz mix things up and someone like Ingles or Green ends up alongside the four guaranteed starters, but for now we’ll operate under this assumption.

The Jazz second unit has a lot of strengths but also a lot of mystery and questions marks. With that being the case, it’s easy to find ways each can improve if they truly are going to push their team over the edge next season.
